Larissa Boie holds a Ph.D. from ETH Zurich (Switzerland), where she built a table-top setup for tunable chirped mid-infrared laser pulses to be used in studying the structural dynamics of correlated systems. In addition, she worked at X-ray free electron lasers around the world to investigate correlations on the ultrafast timescale in a prototypical one-dimensional charge-density-wave material. She completed her M.Sc. in Germany at the Freie Universität Berlin, which included stays at the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology in Nairobi, Kenya and the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium.

Before joining The Ohio State University, she worked at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Villigen, Switzerland, studying the structural changes in glasses upon laser processing using X-ray diffraction methods in the Strategic Focus Area Advanced Manufacturing (SFA-AM).

At The Ohio State University, she joins the efforts in exploring high harmonic generation in the context of condensed matter systems in the Institute for Optical Science.

Larissa Boie is a member of the German Physical Society (DPG), the Swiss Society for Photon Science (SSPh) and the National Postdoc Association (NPA).
